Gimnasia La Plata vs San Martin SJ Prediction: Can San Martin maintain their away invincibility?

With Gimnasia La Plata as guest and San Martín SJ as the visitor, the sixth round of the Torneo Betano 2025 is an interesting clash. Both teams have different experiences from the fourth round and they wish to gain maximum points from this match.

Gimnasia La Plata (DWWLL)

Gimnasia La Plata arrives to this game after a 0-0 match against Lanús. Gimnasia could only manage six overall shots with only one on target and only one attempt overall was successful. With only 38% possession they stayed well bunched defensively and kept Lanús at bay for clear-cut chances. An important save turned in by goalkeeper Insfran allowed his side to take a point. Offensively will need to be cleaner in last third, particularly after not creating top quality scoring chances (xG of 0.21).

San Martin SJ (LDDDL)

But while Talleres Córdoba also beat San Martín SJ 1-0, this time away from home, the Cordoba side are reaping the rewards this time around. The first half was a close encounter, but Talleres made them pay heading away towards the 64th minute through Benavidez. Despite San Martín having 51 percent possession and only two shots on target from their seven total efforts, they did not really lay a glove on their opponents. Defensively they were okay, but did not have the attacking threat to turn the game in their favour. To take anything from this match, the team will have to learn to finish.

Expert Betting Tips

This is a crucial encounter for both to step out in the league. Gimnasia will have to rely on their home advantage and the defensive resilience as San Martín SJ could come out motivated to avenge on their loss. Defensive solidity will inevitably be necessary from Gimnasia La Plata and San Martín’s struggles in front of goal will bode well for a repeat of this being another low-scoring affair. A draw is also possible although the hosts might have a slight advantage.
